VisiVite AREDS2 Premier Ocular Formula No. 2
120 capsules
VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 is our most advanced formula for Macular Health, and the only All-Natural AREDS2 Formula available.
VisiVite has made several formulation choices which result in a premium quality AREDS2 supplement. The ingredients used in VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 are from the identical suppliers being used by the United States National Eye Institute, including FloraGLO Lutein from Kemin, and DSM's OPTISHARP Zeaxanthin and ROPUFA pure Omega-3 fatty acids. Cheaper sources of these ingredients exist but are not used by VisiVite.
Additionally, VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 contains NO artificial ingredients, NO artificial color and NO sugar. VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 uses one of the finest softgel manufacturers in the world and the formula is supplied as 120 capsules per bottle, with four capsules per day taken in divided doses. Most people take two capsules twice per day, with meals.
VisiVite was the first vitamin manufacturer to offer this unique supplement based upon various aspects of the ongoing National Eye Institute's Age Related Eye Disease Study 2, and it is the only all-natural AREDS2 formula available.
Since the publication of the AREDS research in 2001, more recent studies, including the Lutein Antioxidant Supplement Trial, have demonstrated vision improvement. And much exciting work involving both Lutein and Zeaxanthin, molecules known as carotenoids, have shown not only vision improvement but also a healthier macular appearance with improvement in pigmentation and color.
One important issue not addressed in AREDS is that there appears to be an inflammatory component to Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Other studies suggest that Omega-3 fatty acids derived from deep sea fish may be helpful in further counteracting this eye disease and preventing blindness.
For these reasons, the National Eye Institute, in late 2006 announced the recruitment of patients into a multi-year randomized Age Related Eye Disease 2 Study:
"The Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) is a multi-center, randomized trial designed to assess the effects of oral supplementation of macular xanthophylls (lutein and zeaxanthin) and/or long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid) [DHA] and eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] ) on the progression to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). An additional goal of the study is to assess whether forms of the AREDS nutritional supplement with reduced zinc and/or no beta-carotene works as well as the original supplement in reducing the risk of progression to advanced AMD."
VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula Number 2 is based upon our prediction of what will be the most successful components and modifications of the Age Related Eye Disease Study 2.
We recommend VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula Number 2 for the following patients with macular degeneration:
- Progressive macular degeneration with vision loss in one or both eyes
- Presence in the retina of large drusen, pigmentation or geographic atrophy
VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula Number 2 is safe for both smokers and non-smokers (does not contain beta-carotene).

It saved my eyesight!
By Ronald Risdon on August 11, 2011
My Eye Doctor: Michael Lyle Wilson, 101 Walnut St.,Manistique, MI. 49854. (906)341-5689. Saw me in Dec.,
2008. He told me that I was in the early stages of dry
AMD. Gave me your information and I have been
using your Ocular Premier Formula 2, and Co-Defence
Vitamins every since. I was seen by my VA Hospital's
Optomitrist and Opthamologist every 3 months afterwards.
[ I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran, USAF 68-72 SP/SF ]
Upon the 6th month exam my AMD had reversed and on
the 9th month exam, the Opthamologist told me I was OK !
Needless to say I was thrilled and thanked God for you
people at VisiVite/Vitamin Science !!! Your products WORK !
Even so...I will continue to take them for the rest of my
life. [ I'll be 63 in Sept.} (-:) My vision is good, although
trifocals are not fun, especially since I have a recording
studio, do free lance voice overs, remaster old records and
tapes to CD, etc. Spend alot of time at my computer and it
goes without saying that my vision is quite necessary for my
line of work.
Thank you so much for providing products that saved my
eye sight !!!
Sincerely,
Ronald Risdon
As a nurse, I'm extremely grateful to have found your eye vitamin.
By Jan Dillon on January 5, 2011
I live in Saint Johns, Florida. I was just callingabout your Premier Ocular Formula 2. I am a nurse in my career with dystrophy(?) due to a doctor hitting my cornea. Since I have been taking
VisiVite, I have got partially my vision back. I can see objects clearer.
I am able to see even peoples' faces now on TV. And, I'm going to have a cataract removed off of that eye which will increase my vision better, I hope. But thanks to you, I am able to see things without running into them. I'm driving better and I just wanted to thank you so much for your product.
This is my second time ordering double doses of this product. And, thank you very, very, very much.
Wonderful products!
By Varda Y. on December 3, 2009
I take VisiVite and Co-Defense regularly for a few years now, and I guess that's what keeping my problem steady. I also discovered the pill for dry eyes, and find it wonderful. My daughter used to put drops 20-30 times a day. After I gave her the pill for dry eyes, she puts in drops maybe once or twice a day. Thank you for your wonderful products.

Answer: Anchovy, sardine and herring. VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 uses ROPUFA 75-25 pharmaceutical grade, highly purified Omega 3 oil from DSM Roche, which is the very same Omega 3 used in the National Eye Institute's AREDS2 research.

Question: I am 87 years old and have been taking visivite gold vitamin for several years. I feel it has kept my AMD from complete blindness. My left eye only has small vision on the outer corner. My right eye has sight, but I'm starting to lose sight in the corner. I take avastin shots in my right eye every ten weeks. Which of these vitamins will work best for me?
Answer: With wet macular degeneration in your right eye, we recommend either adding omega-3 fatty acids (fish oils) to your nutritional regimen, or simply taking VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2. Note that Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 requires a total of 4 large gelcaps daily taken in divided doses.
Question: I am a smoker so do not use betacarotene. Is it all right to take Vitamin A? Thanks.
Answer: Yes, it is alright to take vitamin A. It's just the high doses of beta carotene that are associated with the increased risk of lung cancer in smokers.
Question: I have problems swallowing large caps. Are there chewables or small sizes?
Answer: VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 is a liquid softgel and cannot be broken apart or chewed. We recommend instead that you look at VisiVite i-Defense Gold or Green Formulas, in which the capsules can be opened and their contents emptied into food or drink. For more information, see http://www.visivite.com/premier-macular-health-eye-vitamins.html.

Question: i have glaucoma and cataracts, age 60 which vitamin is best for me?gold formula or no.2areds 2?
Answer: Both VisiVite Gold and VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 are excellent formulas for macular health. But in the absence of macular degeneration, we would recommend VisiVite Balanced Ocular Support.
